| 520 | 1 | _a"In the spring of 1996, militants of the Armed Islamic Group, today affiliated with Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda network, broke into a Trappist monastery in war-torn Algeria. Seven monks were taken hostage, pawns in a murky negotiation to release imprisoned terrorists. Two months later, the severed heads of the monks were found in a tree not far from Tibhirine. Their bodies were never recovered.". | |
| 520 | 8 | _a"The village of Tibhirine had sprung up around the monastery because it was a holy place, protected by the Virgin Mary, who is revered by Christians and Muslims alike. But after 1993, as the Algerian military government's war against Islamic terrorism widened, napalm, helicopters, and gunfire became regular accompaniments to monastic routine.". | |
| 520 | 8 | _a"The harmony between these Christian monks and their Muslim neighbors of Tibhirine contrasts with the fear and distrust among Algerians engaged in a struggle for power and over what it means to be a Muslim. Woven into the story of the kidnapping and the political disintegration of Algeria is a classic account of Christian martyrdom. | |
| 520 | 8 | _aBut these monks were not martyrs to their faith, as preaching Christianity to Muslims is forbidden in Algeria, but rather martyrs to their love of their Muslim neighbors, whom they refused to desert in their hour of need."--BOOK JACKET. | |
